Historical Photographs of China album reference: Hv44. Dr. Samuel M. Zwemer's visit to China, part 1. First part of an album containing photographs taken by Christian missionaries Claude L. Pickens, Jr. and Carter Holton. General note: Excerpt from unpublished photo essay, plate 4: "The bridge across the Tatung River which divides the provinces of Tsinghai and Kansu north of the Sining River near which this picture was taken. To the right is Kansu, to the left is Tsinghai, Moslem governed territory, which includes the Norther[n] part of Tibet. Such cantilever bridges are common in Tsinghai, Ma Pu-fang having constructed a number of new ones only recently." Access to original photographs and albums in the Rev. Claude L.
